AwesomeI've been testing this Boombox for just over a week now and wow. From when you starting unpacking the product, even the packaging is great quality. The Boombox has some weight to it, the easy guide setup I see quick. The Bluetooth connectivity is quick. I connect to my iPhone and the sound is so good. The bass first hits you I turned up the volume sat back closed my eyes it was as if I was at the concert only I was getting a personal performance. Even when the volume is turned down you can stillness hear every note. This more than surpassed my expectations as the sound quality is crystal clear. I'm looking forward to enjoying this product some more and I would highly recommend

Best money I have ever spentI bought this five months ago and have been plateaued in every way possible. The floating/waterproof capability is very useful. The heavy duty battery lasts me an entire weekend. The most important and best part is the sound. The bass is low and POWERFUL and can turn a room into concert. I love using it outdoors because of how far the sound travels, but one thing JBL doesn’t mention is the range of the Bluetooth. It is almost a hundred yard connection, even when they are paired with my other JBL speakers. I got a Jeep recently and it currently has no sound system, so the boombox is more than enough bass and loudness. The instrument separation is superb and overall quality is unmatched

Amazing sound qualityI bought this 34 days ago and have loved it since I don't like getting it dirty but theres nothing JBL can do about that lol but it has enough power to shake some smaller things on your walls and put a thump in your chest if your in a bedroom sized room and sounds great the only thing I hate Is how easy it is to scratch and wish it had a backpack case thing but I wont complain everything has its ups and downs If they ever do make a JBL boombox 2 I will be buying it the day it comes out for sure so I can always have the biggest waterproof portable speaker on the market it is great and fills every need I have as i walk down the hallways of my school with tremendous bass filling the halways.

Amazing Sound - Versatile - GREAT battery!I have had this boombox for a couple of months now and can honestly say that it is the best I have seen and heard, and the battery life is likely my favorite aspect, I have used this thing at work ,outside, in cool weather, at moderate volumes on and off for nearly two weeks, likely 24 hours of combined use on one charge!
The sound is great and can be loud as you will need...as a Heavy Equipment Technician, I use this in the cabinet of my service truck, and you can hear it easily around the biggest equipment out there without full volume.
Build quality is what one would expect from an HK company, you are getting what you pay for.
Buy it...love it!!!

Exceptional Sound and Quality! AAA+ RATING...Many people might say and complain that this product is too pricey. If you want quality, you pay the price and JBL delivers with this monstrous speaker! I am REALLY HAPPY with my Boombox and ever since I bought it I have gotten nothing but compliments from people. I know there are plenty of brands out there and I listened to other speakers on display, but this one took grabbed my attention big time. I highly recommend this product to anyone who wants to get the best bluetooth speaker around. Thank you JBL! Keep up the great work...

Awesome!I’ve not even had this product for a week, and all I can say is it’s awesome! It’s a good job I live in a detached house otherwise the neighbours would hate me! The volume, bass, and overal sound quality is amazing, it even has an outdoor mode which makes outdoor listening even better - amazing for BBQs.
I’ve listened for around 20 hours and have not had to charge it since taking it out of the box.
The only slight down side I have found is that it’s potentially not waterproof as advertised, and I’d be very careful putting something of this price in water. There is a cap on the back with different ports behind it which are certainly not waterproof. When testing I found a surprising amount of water leakage in the compartment - which could easily kill the boom box.

What do the LED lights indicate on the bottom of the boombox?

Do refurbished speakers work as well as brand new speakers and are the sound qualities different?

Asked by: H4nk

Re-certified products only have some cosmetic differences like scratches on the unit but functionality-wise it should still be the same sound quality as a new one.

Can I turn off the &ldquo;stand by&rdquo; mode? I use mine to see movies with auxiliar cable and it&rsquo;s sad that I can&rsquo;t enjoy a movie because of the automatic stand by mode... I hear glitches of silence very often...

Asked by: ErikRocha

Unfortunately you cannot turn of the auto-shutoff feature for the JBL boombox or on our other portable devices. This is to ensure that the device saves energy as much as it can so you can use it for longer times.

So I got the JBL extreme last year for my birthday, and I just got the JBL boombox for christmas a few days ago. I was trying to connect them, but it hasn't worked so far. Anyone know if there is a reason for this?

Asked by: sinil

The JBL Xtreme uses Connect while the JBL Boombox uses the Connect + which are 2 different features. The Connect feature can only connect up to 2 devices at the same time while the Connect + can connect up to 100+ speakers at the same time with the same Connect +feature.

How can i tell the device is charging properly?
(Most battery powered devices have LED indicators) but nothing happens when I plug it in

Asked by: Confused pa

There should be an LED indicator on the bottom part of the Boombox where it shows how much it's charging. If there is no lights while plugged in.Please contact us so we can get you assisted.
